December 11th: Viktor & Rolf

Cheating, really. Clearly not my photograph but it certainly is today’s snippet of inspiration.

For years I have collected images from magazines – fashion, interiors and (as time goes on and I turn into my mother) now gardens as well. When we move or decorate or I start a new project, I always go back to my books. It’s interesting to see the themes that recur time and again. Spheres and tailoring feature heavily…. industrial lettering…. big bows….

I bloody love this look from Viktor and Rolf (ages ago). I love everything about it. This is in one of my books and also in an album on the computer called ‘Flower Shop’. The brilliant combinations of textures, the drama, the slouchy attitude and the subtle colours. Lovely. Plus I saw a deer at the weekend, which was magical.
